5 mins? Feels like forever ago
this is good s***
i need to sit down and peep a full album so hopefully it clicks
Their compilation SUBSTANCE is soooo good man
It's a collection of their singles from like the first act of their career and it's soooo good
They did a funny thing where like 80% of their singles (the ones that actually became hits in the UK) didn't end up on their actual LPs, they were just 1 offs in between their albums. So, substance sorta gives them a home
And it's a f***ing banger album
Yeah you'll wait until I can't listen and do it with like echiham or something
Nope will not happen til you can do

calling him hip hop stevie just makes so much sense in my brain
A great piece of hip hop lore is Ice Cube went to NY in 1989 to do Amerikkkas Most Wanted ( a brilliant album) and he didnt have a producer bc Dre was gonna produce it but Eazy E or Jerry Heller blocked it
One of Cube’s NY friends told him to let Q Tip produce it but Cube didnt do it bc he didnt know who he was yet bc Tribe hadn’t dropped any music yet. He went with Bomb Squad instead which was a great choice but I do wonder what Tip woulda did
Tip is literally sitting on three solo album right now. Idk why he hasn't drop anything this decade
To me, this is worst than D'Angelo
It’s because he’s insecure about his rapping voice. That’s why bro barely raps anymore outside of doing an occasional hook.
Not one of their Better songs imo

thatll be the first one I peep
The album is incredibly sad
I honestly think Tip and Ali finishing that album in the midst of Phife’s death changed both of them. Neither one of them had seemed genuinely happy since and it makes me sad
And the fact that they aren’t on good terms anymore makes me sadder
Wait???

I honestly wouldn’t care if he did a whole album singing over jazz
Melatonin and Blue Girl showed me he could do that
Wait???
TIP AND ALI FELL OUT????
Thats what I’ve heard
I don’t have any details about it though

ice cube was gonna drop a classic either way it seems
So crazy it's all a***og
like wtf give them FL studio
Wouldn’t have been as good imo
The limits is what pushed things back in the day imo

Bro can absolutely still rap his ass off
His voice has just gotten a lot higher pitched over the years compared to the early 90s Tip and I think it’s been something in recent years that has hindered him from releasing more work.

That's sad, because he has one of the most unique rap voices ever.
Pretty much birthed Magoo's whole style
RIP btw

I honestly think between Dre, Q Tip, and Bomb Squad dre was the worst option at that time. Not bc hes a bad producer at all bit I think the NY production brought something different out of Cube
I hope everyone has on their flannels by now.
